Thread: The Perfect Bluegill Jig for Worms

I got this idea on the jig tyeing forum,while looking for a baitholder jig hook.Seems that it worked perfectly,and now have evolved it into catching larger bluegills without loosing my worms going through the little guys.I use a 1/16 oz. jighead,snip the barb off the collar about half,and use a size 1 sickle hook.While using size 8 and even 6 the little guys would get caught to easy.I just tie a staple to the shank of the hook really good,I think that the thread soaks up the worm smell.Under a slip bobber got smaller ones,Drug across the nottom got bigger ones.In the backs of coves.The staple keeps the worm on good,6 fish,1 worm,lol,as long as you are paying attention.
